LETTER OF SUBMITTAL
LETTER OF SUBMITTAL.
The Commokwealth of Massachusetts,
Office of the Secretary, Boston, Jan. 15, 1921.
To the Honorable Senate and House of Re/presentatives.
I have the honor to submit herewith, as required by law, the
seventy-eighth annual report on statistics of births, marriages,
divorces and deaths in Massachusetts, for the calendar year 1919;
The statistical tables in this report were prepared in the Division
of Vital Statistics, under the direction of Agnes E. Kimball, chief
clerk of the division. The editorial review and the method of
presentation of the statistical data were prepared by Harold D.
Wilson, who was appointed State Registrar of Vital Statistics on
INIay 15, 1919. The exhibition of tabular results is restricted to such
as are plainly of practical utility within the meaning of the statute
by authority of which the tables are prepared.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT P. LANGTRY,
Secretary of the Commonwealth.

Introduction.
Birth Registration. — The registration of births presents greater
difficulties than that of either marriages or deaths, and no State
or city claims 100 per cent birth registration; but the results in
Massachusetts on the whole are quite satisfactory, and generally
considered to be far above the average.
It is interesting to know that from 1841 to 1919, inclusive,
4,081,063 births have been reported and tabulated in this Common-
wealth.
These records are not only on file in the cities and towns in which
they occurred, but also at the State House, where they are easily
accessible, being indexed in alphabetical lists of five-year periods.
Physicians and midwives are required to report all births coming
under their care, but unfortunately there are many instances where
no professional attendance is employed and no certificate of birth
is returned. This discrepancy, in a measure, is covered by the law
requiring all parents to make a proper return of births, and by the
1 For a list of the tables on birth statistics, see page iii.
10 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
law requiring each city and town clerk in Massachusetts annually
in January to ascertain the facts required for record relative to all
children born during the preceding year and resident in their city
or town.
These returns are checked with those already on file, and copies
of births occurring elsewhere, the parents having moved during the
year, are forthwith sent to the place of birth.
This annual canvass has proved an important factor in checking
up those delinquent in the reporting of births.
Since the establishment of the office of State Registrar of Vital
Statistics, by act of the 1918 Legislature, a systematic campaign
has been carried on to obtain prompt and absolute compliance
with the birth registration laws.
Complete and authentic birth records are of the utmost importance
in all questions relating to heredity, property rights, identity, etc.
No child labor law is of value unless it rests on a system of birth
registration, by which the child and the parent can be required to
produce positive proof of the age of the child. Laws cannot be
enforced where the question of age depends on the statement of
interested parties rather than on oflBcial records.
The registration of births is intended to serve three purposes: (1)
to identify the child and to establish its age and parentage; (2)
to enable the community to guard the newly born baby against
blindness and those diseases which carry oft' so many babies in the
first year of life and leave so many crippled, maimed, and deformed;
and (3) to furnish statistical data.
Source of Data. — The birth statistics presented in this report
are compiled from the certified copies of the records of births re-
corded in each city and town and transmitted annually to the
Secretary of the Commonwealth. The original information from
which birth statistics are derived is obtained from physicians,
midwives, superintendents of hospitals and institutions, parents,
householders, and birth canvassers.
The majority of such records are secured from physicians, who
are required by law to keep a record of the birth of every child in
cases of which they were in charge, and, within fifteen days after
the birth, mail or deliver to the clerk of the city or town in which
the birth occurred a copy of this record, which shall contain the
date and place, the name, if any, of the child, its sex and color,
No. 1.] BIRTH STATISTICS. 11
and the names, ages, places of birth, occupations and residence of
the parents, giving the street name if there be any, and the number
of the ward in a city, the maiden name of the mother, and whether
or not the physician or midwife signing the birth return personally
attended the birth.
Additions and Corrections. — In spite of every precaution errors
are found in birth returns, due to the inability of attending physi-
cians to obtain proper data from the parents, carelessness on the
part of parents or physicians in supplying correct information, and,
in some instances, failure on the part of those responsible for birth
registration to make any return.
In order to protect the innocent party (the child) in this failure
to make a satisfactory birth record, the Commonwealth has wisely
provided a method for the correcting of existing records and for the
filing of delayed returns.
The law in question, section 13, chapter 46, General Laws, reads
as follows : —
If the record relating to a birth, marriage or death does not contain all the
required facts, or if it is claimed that the facts are not correctly stated therein,
the town clerk shall recei^'e an affidavit containing the facts required for record,
if made by a person required by law to furnish the information for the original
record, or, at the discretion of the town clerk, by credible persons having knowl-
edge of the case. He shall file such affidavit and record it in a separate book
kept therefor, "wdth the name and residence of the deponent and the date of such
record, and shall thereupon draw a line through the incorrect statements with-
out erasing them, shall enter upon the original record the facts required to
amend the record and forthwith, if a copy of the record has been sent to the
state secretary, shall forward to him a certified copy of the corrected record
upon blanks to be provided by him and he shall thereupon amend the record in
his office and state in the margin thereof his authority therefor. Reference to
the record of the affidavit shall be made by the clerk on the margin of the original
record. If the clerk furnishes a copy of such record, he shall certify to the facts
contained therein as amended, and shall state that the certificate is issued under
this section, a copy of which shall be printed on every such certificate. Such
affidavit, or a certified copy of the record of any other town or of a written
statement made at the time by any person since deceased required by law to
furnish evidence thereof, may, in the discretion of the clerk, be made the basis
for the record of a birth, marriage or death not previously recorded, and such
copy of record may also be made the basis for completing the record of a birth,
marriage or death not containing all the required facts.
12 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. I).
Deposition blanks have been prepared for the amending of
existing records or for delayed returns, and many such corrections
and additions are filed each year. These are bound in separate
volumes, and indexed to show that they are additions and correc-
tions to births, made in compliance with section 13, chapter 46,
General Laws.
It has always been the policy of this office to favor acceptance
of proper birth depositions furnished by responsible persons on the
ground that the person with an incomplete birth record is in no
way responsible for the discrepancy.
The annual canvass is an important factor in eliminating errors
from physicians' returns of births, and many cities and towns in
Massachusetts are guarding against such errors by sending an
exact copy of the physician's return to the parents for their ap-
proval; and when the certificate is returned properly signed by a
parent, it is filed with the physician's certificate. Birth records
authenticated by the signature of a parent, of course are not subject
to change by deposition at some later date.
As previously stated, many cities and towns have already adopted
this follow-up system, and an attempt is being made to institute
this method throughout Massachusetts.
Live Births. — In the Commonwealth in 1919 there were 87,827
live births, a decrease of 7,780, or 8.1 per cent, as compared with
the number registered in 1918. There was a decrease in 1919 of
4,225, or 9.7 per cent, in the number of babies born to foreign-
born parents. The number of babies born to native parents show
a decrease of 2,618, or 7.3 per cent, as compared with 1918, while
the births among the mixed parents, namely, one parent native, the
other foreign-born, decreased by 920, or 5.7 per cent.
Birth Rnte. — In proportion to the total population, the total live
births were equivalent to a rate of 22.9 per 1,000 population. This
was 1.6 per 1,000 lower than that recorded in 1918, and 2.1 per
1,000 below the average for the last five years.
Changes in Birth Rate. — The birth rate for the Commonwealth
attained the highest point on record, 30.2, in the year 1857. Since
then the rate, although fluctuating considerably, has shown a con-
siderable decline, notwithstanding an improvement in the registra-
tion. Although the birth rate has been smaller in recent years, the
infant death rate has also declined, so that the number of babies
No. 1.] BIRTH STATISTICS. 13
who survive the dangers of infancy is becoming steadily greater.
This fact is strikingly shown in the infant mortality tables. A
comparison of these tables with the birth rate shown in Table 6
shows that while the birth rate per 1,000 population declined from
28.1 in 1851 to 22.9 in 1919, the number of babies per 1,000 born
alive who reached their first birthday increased from 867 in 1851
to 912 in 1919. Thus the decline in the birth rate during this
sixty-nine year period has been neutralized to a considerable extent
by the conservation of infant life in recent years.
Stillbirths. — Stillbirths registered in 1919 numbered 3,092, a
decrease of 687, or 18.2 per cent, as compared with 1918. The
rate per 1,000 live births was 35.2 in 1919, 39.5 in 1918, 34.7 in
1917, and 35.3, in 1916.
Birth Rates, Principal Cities. — The seven municipalities having
25,000 inhabitants or more showing the highest birth rates in 1919
are: Chelsea, 31.5; Chicopee, 28.8; Fall River, 28.3; New Bedford,
28.2; Lowell, 27.3; Fitchburg, 26.3; and Holyoke, 26.3.
The city of Fall River has the largest birth rate (28.3) of any
place in the State of over 100,000 population. High birth rates,
however, do not necessarily indicate satisfactory increases in popu-
lation, since high rates of infant and childhood mortality may
nullify the effects of high birth rates.
Variations in the birth rates of different communities may be
partially accounted for by differences in the proportions of married
women of child-bearing age residing therein, and by the presence
of hospitals to which expectant mothers go from neighboring cities
and towns in order to take advantage of the best medical advice
and obstetrical care during pregnancy and childbirth.
Sex Proportions at Birth. — It has never been determined whether
or not the higher proportion of mascuHne than of feminine births
is the result of definite causes or not. The fact remains that this
phenomenon is invariably true. Births of males in 1919 numbered
44,713 and those of females 43,113, corresponding to a ratio of
1,037 male births to 1,000 female births.
Among the stillborn, the ratio in 1919 was 1,314 males per 1,000
females. Since 1851 the extreme range of masculinity has been
from 1,842 males per 1,000 females in 1857 to 1,171 males per
1,000 females in 1901.

were foreign-born (39,194) exceeded the number of births where
both parents were native (33,295) by 5,899, or 17.7 per cent, in
1919, as compared with 7,506, or 20.9 per cent, in 1918. Children
born of mixed parents (one parent native and one parent foreign-
born) numbered 15,302 in 1919, as compared with 16,222 in 1918.
The proportion of children born of native parents declined from
1890 until about 1910, since when the proportion has steadily
increased. In 1919 the proportion was 37.9 per cent.
The proportion of children born of parents one of whom was
native and the other foreign-born was 17.4 in 1919, as compared with
17 in 1918. The number of children born of parents whose nativity
was not reported on the birth certificate was only 36 in 1919, the
lowest number for any year since the first compilation of birth
statistics.
Plural Births. — In 1919 there were 993 plural births, 986 pairs
of twins, and 7 cases of triplets, or 11 pairs of twins per 1,000 live
births, and 8 cases of triplets per 100,000 live births.
Natural Increase. — The excess of the birth rate over the death
rate shows the ratio at which the community is reproducing itself
by natural increases. In every year since the compilation of birth
statistics was started the birth rate has been higher than the death
rate.
In 1919 the natural increase amounted to 9.3 per 1,000 population,
as compared with 4.3 in 1918, and an average of 10.5 for the five
years 1913 to 1917. Comparisons of the natural increase from 1851
to 1919 cannot be made with absolute accuracy from the data
shown in Table 6 on account of the defective birth registration in
the earlier years. The figures presented in this table indicate a
considerable fluctuation in the natural increase, the lowest rate
being 1.4, in 1864, and the highest, 12, in 1857 and 1859.
Notwithstanding the decline in the birth rate in recent years, the
number of births is greatly in excess of the number of deaths, and
this fact, coupled with the steady decrease in infant mortality, has
resulted in a net gain in the natural increase in population. The
excess of births over deaths amounts to 67.8 per cent in 1919, as
compared with 21.3 per cent in 1918, 69.1 per cent in 1917, 65.9
per cent in 1916, and 43 per cent in 1915. Since 1881 the natural
increase has more than doubled.

Introduction.
Marriage Registration. — It is interesting to know that from 1841
to 1919, inclusive, 1,439,961 marriages have been reported, recorded
and tabulated in this Commonwealth.
These records are not only on file in the cities and towns in
which they occurred and in the city or town claimed as the residence
of the bride or groom at the time of marriage, but also at the State
House. All marriages recorded at the State House are indexed in
alphabetical lists of five-year periods for both the bride and the
groom, and are easily accessible to the public at any time during
office hours.
Accuracy. — The registration of marriages presents fewer difficul-
ties than either births or deaths, and the marriage statistics in this
volume should be based on nearly 100 per cent registration.
Only a minimum of error should creep into the registration of
marriages, as the facts required to be recorded are made under oath
by one or both of the contracting parties before a city or town clerk
or registrar or his representative. Copies of records transmitted to
the Division of Vital Statistics at the State House are, of course.
30 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
subject to error in copying, but even this source of error is minimized
by a very careful examination, and, when possible, by comparison
with similar records from different cities and towns by the experts
employed in the Division of Vital Statistics.
Source of Data. — The marriage statistics presented in this report
are compiled from the certified copies of the records of marriages re-
corded in each city and town and transmitted annually to the Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth. The original information from which
marriage statistics are derived is obtained as follows: Persons who
desire to be married in this Commonwealth are required by law to
file their intentions in the office of the city clerk or registrar of the
city or town in which they respectively dwell, or, if they do not
dwell within this Commonwealth, in the office of the clerk or regis-
trar of the city or town in which they propose to have the marriage
solemnized. This notice of intention must be entered in the clerk's
office not less than five days before their marriage. On or after the
fifth day from the date of the entry of such intention, the clerk or
registrar delivers to the parties a certificate of intention signed by
him, specifying all facts relative to the marriage which are required
by law to be ascertained and recorded, namely, the date of the
record, the date of the marriage, the place of the marriage, the names
and places of birth of the parties to be married, the residence of each,
the age and color of each, the number of the marriage (as the first or
second), and, if previously married, whether widowed or divorced,
the occupation of each, the names of their parents, and the maiden
names of the mothers. If the woman is a widow or divorced, her
maiden name is also given.
Such certificate of intention must be delivered to the minister or
magistrate before whom the marriage is to be contracted before he
proceeds to solemnize the same. Every official authorized by law to
solemnize a marriage is required to make and keep a record of each
marriage solemnized by him and of all facts relative to the marriage
which are required to be recorded by law.
In addition he is required, between the first and tenth days of
the month following each marriage solemnized by him, to return a
certificate of marriage, completely filled out, not only to the clerk
or registrar of the city or town in which the marriage was solemnized,
but also to the clerk or registrar of the city or town given as the
domicile of each of the contracting parties.
No. 1.] MARRIAGE STATISTICS. 31
Each certificate and copy so returned must contain a statement
giving the place and date of marriage, attested by the signature of
the person who solemnized the same. The clerk or registrar of each
city or town is required to record marriages and transmit annually
to the Secretary of the Commonwealth certified copies of the records
of all marriages recorded.
Purpose. — Marriage registration is maintained largely to protect
the home and the family, and to furnish reliable evidence upon
which to base the legitimacy of children and the dower rights of
women. Every precaution has been taken by the Commonwealth
to see that all statutes relative to the solemnizing and registry of
marriages are strictly enforced. In order that ministers and magis-
trates authorized to solemnize marriages may thoroughly understand
the legal requirements both before and after solemnizing a marriage,
the following pertinent facts relative to the law requirements have
been condensed by the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth,
printed in circular form and distributed as widely as possible through-
out the State : —
Requirements before Solemnizing a Marriage.
Certificates of intention of marriage, as follows: —
1. If both parties reside in one city or town within the State, a certificate
from the clerk or registrar of such city or town;
2. If the parties reside in different places within the State, a certificate from
each of the two places;
3. If one of the parties resides within the State and the other without, a
certificate from such place within the State;
4. If both parties reside without the State, a certificate from the place (city
or town) where the marriage is to be solemnized;
5. Any certificate of intention of marriage is void if not used within six
months of date of issue, or if it contains any unauthorized erasures or correc-
tions.
Requirements after Solemnizing a Marriage.
General Laws, chapter 207, section 40, states: ''Every justice of the peace,
minister, etc., shall make and keep a record of each marriage solemnized by
him . . . , and of all facts relative to the marriage required to be recorded by
the provisions of General Laws, chapter 46, section L"
The marriage certificate blanks. Forms R-101, 102 and 103, supplied by the
Commonwealth, copies of which can be obtained from any clerk or registrar in
the State, are designed to cover the minimum requirements of General Laws,
chapter 46, section 1. If a copy of the marriage intention, completely filled
out, or a record book, setting forth all the information given on same, is kept.
32 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
the provisions of the law will be fulfilled. Xo less information will answer the
requirements of law.
General Laws, chapter 207, section 40, states in substance that every justice
of the peace, minister, etc., shall, between the first and tenth days of the month
following each marriage solemnized by him, return a certificate of marriage
completely filled out, not only to the clerk or registrar of the city or town in
which the marriage was solemnized but also to the clerk or registrar of the city
or town given as the domicile of each of the contracting parties.
In other words, each certificate of intention of marriage must be returned,
properly endorsed, by the person officiating, to the clerk or registrar issuing
same, and in addition, if the marriage is solemnized in some city or town other
than that issuing certificate of intention, he shall make a return to that place.
Number of Marriages and Marriage Rates. — Marriages solemnized
in Massachusetts during 1919 numbered 34,329, corresponding to a
rate of 17.9 persons married per 1,000 population at all ages. This
rate is 3 above the rate for 1918, .3 above the average rate (17.6)
for the decade 1909 to 1918, and .1 below the average for the fifty-
year period 1870 to 1919. The number of marriages solemnized in
1919 was 5,166, or 17.7 per cent more than the number in 1918.
The number of persons married per 1,000 population during the
sixty-nine years, 1851 to 1919, has ranged between a maximum of
24.8 in 1854 and a minimum of 14.9 in 1878 and 1918. The average
annual rate for the period 1870 to 1919 is 18. In 1919 the marriage
rate for males was 18.2 per 1,000 male population. The rate for
females was 17.6 per 1,000 female population. Corresponding rates
for 1918 were 15.2 and 14.6.
Place of Marriage. — Boston had the highest marriage rate (21.7)
of any city having over 100,000 inhabitants, followed by Lowell with
21.5; Fail River, 21.4; New Bedford, 20.8; Cambridge, 20.7;
Springfield, 19.8; and Worcester, 17.6.
It is a noticeable feature that the marriage rates in the large cities
run considerably larger than the rate throughout the State. It was
thought that this might be accounted for in a measure by the
natural tendency of people to go to the larger cities for marriage
purposes, but this theory is found to be partially untrue, at least, by
an examination of the new part added to Table 7, giving the resi-
dence of the contracting parties.
It will be noted that 4,155 couples (12.1 per cent of the total
marriages) were married in cities and towns in the Commonwealth
in which neither the bride nor the groom claimed residence. The
seven cities previously mentioned as having the highest marriage
No. 1.]
MARRIAGE STATISTICS.
33
rates reported a total of 15,830 marriages, or 46 per cent of the
total number in the entire St?te. Of these, 1,687 (10.6 per cent)
were between couples neither of whom gave the place of marriage as
their residence.
Springfield shows the highest percentage of such marriages, 14.2,
with Cambridge second, 14, and Boston third, 13. Eliminating from
the seven cities having the highest marriage rates all marriages in
which neither of the contracting parties is a resident of the place in
which the marriage was solemnized would still leave these cities with
a combined marriage rate of 18.6, i.e., .7 higher than the average
throughout the State.
Age at Marriage. — One out of every three persons married was
between the ages of 20 and 25 years, — 32.5 per cent of the grooms
and 40.1 per cent of the brides. In 19.1 per cent of the marriages
both parties were between 20 and 25 years of age; 14.6 per cent
were between males 25 to 29 years of age and females 20 to 24 years
of age; 9.9 per cent between males 20 to 24 years of age and females
under 20 years of age. Under the age of 20 years there were 961
grooms, or 2.8 per cent of all men married, and 5,483 brides, or 16
per cent of all the women married. At the other extreme of life,
above 60 years, 415 men wxre married, or 1.2 per cent, and 138
women were married, or .4 per cent.

of age married in 1919: —

First Marriages and Remarriages. — Marriages between bachelors
and maids form 80.2 per cent of 34,329 marriages which took place
in 1919; marriages between widowers and maids form 7.9 per cent;
marriages between bachelors and widows, 5.7 per cent; and mar-

per cent of the marriages both parties were foreign born; in 11.6
per cent the groom was foreign-born and the bride native; and in

Months in which Marriages were solemnized. — The most popular
month for marriage is June. In 1919, 4,890, or 14.2 per cent of all
marriages, were solemnized in that month. The month showing the
second largest total was October, 4,222, with November third, 4,047.
Only 9,955 marriages were solemnized during the first five months
of 1919, as against 17,169 during the last five. Over one-third of the
entire number of marriages for the year occurred during the months
of September, October and November, and 22,059 (64.3 per cent) of
the total number of marriages were solemnized during the summer
and fall months, June to November, inclusive.
Daily Averages of Marriages. — The average daily marriages for
the year totaled 94, an increase of 14 over the average in 1918.
While some 5,166 more marriages were reported in 1919 than in
1918, the daily averages for 1919 were less by nearly 5 for the first
five months than in 1918.
The daily averages for October and November (136 and 135) were
much larger than in 1918 and the highest ever recorded for those
months. Although fewer marriages were solemnized during 1919 than
in the two years having the largest previous grand totals, 1917 and
1916, the daily average for the last six months of 1919 is greater
than for either of these years. This increase is particularly noticeable
in the last quarter.

Introduction.
Causes for Divorce. — Causes for which divorce from the bonds of
matrimony may be granted in Massachusetts under the provisions of
sections 1 and 2, chapter 208, General Laws, are as follows: —
1. Adultery.
2. Impotency.
3. Desertion for three consecutive years next prior to the filing of the libel.
4. Gross and confirmed habits of intoxication caused by the voluntary and
excessive use of intoxicating liquor, opium or other drugs.
5. Cruel and abusive treatment.
6. Neglect to provide.
7. Sentence to imprisonment at hard labor for five years or more.
A marriage may be declared void in consequence of violation of
the provisions of the laws concerning marriage; that is, a separation
may be granted because of the demonstration of conditions obtain-
ing at the time of, or previous to, the alleged marriage, which show
that there never was a legal marriage.
58 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
Source of Data. — The statistics of divorce presented in this report
are compiled from returns made to the Secretary of the Common-
wealth annually by the clerks of courts for the several counties, in
compliance with General Laws, chapter 208, sections 46 and 47 : —
Section 46. The clerks of the courts and the clerk of the superior court for
civil business in Suffolk county shall annually, in Februarj^, make returns for
the last preceding calendar year to the state secretary, upon suitable blank forms
provided by him, of the number of libels pending at the beginning of the j^ear,
the number of libels filed within the year, the number of divorces granted, the
number of divorces refused, the number of libels contested, the number of libels
uncontested, the alleged cause for divorce in each case, the sex of the libellant
and the length of time the parties have been married, and the number of cases in
which notice has been given to the district attorney for prosecution under the
preceding section and the crime for which divorce has been granted in such cases.
Section 47. The state secretary shaU annual^ prepare from said returns
abstracts and tabular statements of the facts relative to divorces for each county,
and embody them, with necessary analyses, in his annual report to the general
court relative to the registry of births, marriages and deaths.
Applications for Divorce. — The courts granted about 3 petitions
out of every 4 filed. This proportion fluctuated considerably during
the period 1882 to 1919, the highest proportion of applications being
granted in 1900 (89 per cent), and the lowest proportion in 1888
(51.1 per cent). During this entire period 76.8 per cent of all appli-
cations were granted, 1.8 per cent were refused, and 21.4 per cent
were dismissed.
Contested Cases. — Of the total number of applications for divorces
during the thirty-eight years from 1882 to 1919, only 11 per cent
were contested, and probably in many of these cases the contesting
was hardly more than a formality, perhaps not extending beyond the
filing of an answer, which often has the effect of expediting the
process of obtaining the divorce. In 1919, of the 3,121 applications
for divorce, only 388, or 12.4 per cent, were contested, and of the
2,536 divorces granted, 199, or 7.8 per cent, were contested. The
proportion of contested cases is shghtly smaller for divorces granted
to the husband (7.4 per cent) than for those granted to the wife
(8 per cent)^
Number of Divorces. — Divorces granted in 1919 numbered 2,536,
an increase of 185, or 7.9 per cent more than the number granted in
1918, and an increase of 188, or 8 per cent, over the average num-
ber granted for the five-year period 1914 to 1918.
No. 1.] DIVORCE STATISTICS. 59
Divorce Rates. — The number of divorces per 100,000 population
was 66.1, as compared with 60.2 in 1918, 68.6 in 1917, 60.9 in 1916,
57.3 in 1910, and 29.2 in 1890.
Divorce rates based on the married population, i.e., the number of
divorces per 100,000 married population, are more significant than
rates based upon the total population, because of the ehmination
of possible variations in the proportion married, and because of the
fact that divorce can arise only among the married. Rates calculated
in this manner are shown in Table 26, on page 78, for the census
years 1875 to 1915. In this table the number of divorces shown for
the census years 1875 to 1915 is not the actual number in that year,
but the annual average for the five-year period of which the census
year is the median. This method eliminates any pecuHarities in the
census year which may have affected divorce, and makes the figures
more typical of the period as a whole.
The movement of divorce as shown by the two sets of rates per
100,000 total population and 100,000 married population is nearly
the same. Based on the married population, the divorce rate in 1915
was 80 per cent greater than it was in 1875, and the increase as
shown by the rate based on the total population was 85 per cent.
Based on the estimated married population, the divorce rate for 1919
was 157 per 100,000, as compared with 156 for the five-year period
1914 to 1918.
The rapidity with which marriages are being dissolved by divorce
is measured by the divorce rate based on the married population.
In 1915 the rate was 156 divorces per 100,000 married persons. In
1919 the rate was 157, or about 1.6 divorces per 1,000 estimated
married persons. During the period 1915 to 1919 divorce was dis-
solving each year more than 3 marriages out of every 1,000. In the
five-year period 1873 to 1877 divorce was dissolving each year 1.7
marriages out of every 1,000. For 1890 the ratio was 1.7 for every
1,000; for 1900, 2.5 out of every 1,000; and for 1910, 2.9 out of
every 1,000.
Party to tvhich Granted. — Over two-thirds (70.4 per cent) of the
total number of divorces in the period 1860 to 1919 w^ere granted
to the wife. In other words, divorces obtained by the wife are more
than twice as numerous as those obtained by the husband. This
difference may be partially explained by the fact that without any
reference to the question of which party is the more frequently re-
60 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
sponsible for the marital unhappiness, the wife has tangible ground
for divorce more frequently than the husband, because certain well-
known and comparatively common grounds are more readily applica-
ble against the husband than against the wife. For example, cruelty,
in so far as it is physical cruelty, is not ordinarily an available ground
for a husband, although men are sometimes granted divorces on this
ground.
The proportion of divorces granted to the wife fluctuated between
75.6 per cent in 1876 and 56.4 in 1866, as compared with 70.4 per
cent for the entire period 1860 to 1919.
Divorces Classified by Causes, 1860 to 1919. — The statistics con-
cerning the cause of divorce deal with the legal cause as ascertained
from the court records. It should be borne in mind, however, that
the cause for which a divorce is granted by the courts is not neces-
sarily the underlying reason for the marital unhappiness, and that the
value of statistics of divorce as an index to the actual causes is as
a consequence impaired.
Divorces granted on the ground of desertion have increased eleven-
fold in the sixty-year period 1860 to 1919, while the number of
divorces granted for adultery has nearly doubled.
The most common ground on which divorce was granted by the
courts was desertion, which accounted for 46.9 per cent of all the
divorces granted in the period 1860 to 1919, for 58.9 per cent of all
those granted to the husband in this period, and for 41.9 per cent of
those granted to the wife.
The substantially equal number of divorces granted for adultery
to the husband and to the wife is rather striking. In 11,698 divorces
granted for adultery the divorce was granted to the husband in
50.9 per cent of the cases, and to the wife in 49.1 per cent of the
cases.
Of the divorces granted to husbands, 58.9 per cent were for deser-
tion of the wife, and 32.1 per cent were for adultery on the part of
the wife; and of those granted to mves, 41.9 per cent were for
the desertion of the husband, 22.9 per cent were for cruelty on the
part of the husband, and 13 for adultery.
Intoxication as a ground for divorce figured in 11.2 per cent of
the divorces granted in the period 1860 to 1919; and of this num-
ber, 14.7 per cent were granted to the husband and 85.3 per cent
to the wife. Divorces granted for this cause formed 5.6 per cent of
No. 1.] DIVORCE STATISTICS. 61
all divorces granted to the husbands, and 13.6 per cent of the total
number granted to the wife.
During the sixty years 1860 to 1919 the relative importance of
these different causes for divorce has undergone considerable change.
The sudden variations noticeable are due in large part to changes in
the laws.
Annulment Classified as Divorce. — x\mong the less important
classes of causes appears the term "nullity of marriage." In 362
cases, or .6 per cent of the total number of divorces granted during
the period 1860 to 1919, there was some cause shown which may
have existed at the time of marriage. These cases form but a small
proportion, .6 per cent of all cases considered, and do not affect the
results to any material degree.
Duration of Marriages. — The average number of years libellants
were married at the time of application for divorce has fluctuated
between 10.5 years in 1891 and 1912, and 11.7 years in 1884, 1887,
and 1892. The average number of years the libellants were married
in 1919 was 10.9, as compared with 11.1 years in 1918.
Of the total libellants in Massachusetts for whom the number of
years married was reported in 1919, 49.6 per cent made application
for divorce before they had been married ten years, as compared
"vsith 51.8 per cent in 1918, and 51.3 per cent for the thirty-eight-year
period 1882 to 1919.

A. General Mortality.
Death Registration.- — Massachusetts was one of the first American
States in which dependable registration was enforced, the earliest
legislation in Massachusetts being the requirement for the keeping
of records of births, marriages, and deaths adopted by the Massa-
chusetts Bay Colony in 1639. In ISSO the registration area for
deaths established by the United States Bureau of the Census, i.e.,

on Births, Marriages, and Deaths in Massachusetts, 1917, pages 108, 109.
88 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
the States, and cities in other States, effectively enforcing satis-
factory registration laws of all deaths registered, included but two
States, Massachusetts and New Jersey, the District of Columbia,
and a number of cities in nonregistration States.
During the period 1841 to 1919, inclusive, 2,786,629 deaths have
been reported, recorded, and tabulated in the Division of Vital
Statistics.
These records are not only on file in the cities and towns in which
they occurred and in the city and town given as the residence of
the deceased at the time of death, but also at the State House. All
such deaths recorded in the Division of Vital Statistics are indexed
in alphabetical lists of five-year periods, and are easily accessible to
the public at any time during office hours.
Purpose. — Death registration often gives the first intimation of
pestilential disease, permitting health officers to attack epidemics
in their incipiency. It serves as evidence in the inheritance of
property and in the settlement of life insurance. It is useful in
preventing crime through the restriction placed upon the disposal of
dead human bodies, and insures a permanent and uniform record of
the death of each individual for both sentimental and legal reasons.
Mortality Statistics. — Mortality statistics, or statistics of deaths,
are useful in showing the extent and rate of change in population
produced by deaths, the average duration of life, the relative fre-
quency with which the several causes produce death, and for their
service in creating an interest in public health administration and
securing support for sanitary measures. In comparison with birth
statistics they give useful information regarding population increase
or decrease. Mortality statistics, however, cannot be used as an
index of the prevalence of certain diseases, because there is no fixed
ratio between sickness and fatality. Only cases of fatal sickness or
disease are given, while morbidity statistics include all cases, whether
fatal or not.
Source of Data. — iNIortality statistics are based upon original
data obtained by the registration of deaths, which is accomplished
by the use of a blank or schedule known as the standard death
certificate. The registration law of Massachusetts provides that — •
Each toT\ii clerk shall receive or obtain and record in separate columns the
following facts relative to . . . deaths in his town:
In the record of deaths, date of record, date of death, name of deceased, sex,
No. 1.] • MORTALITY STATISTICS. 89
color, condition (whether single, widowed, married or divorced), supposed age,
residence, occupation, place of death, place of birth, names and places of birth
of the parents, maiden name of the mother, disease or cause of death, defined
so that it can be classified under the international classification of causes of
death, place of burial, name of the cemetery, if any, and if deceased was a
married or divorced woman or a widow, her maiden name and the name of her
husband. The word "residence", as used in this section, shall be held to in-
clude the name of the street and number, if any, of the house.
The standard certificate of death in use in Massachusetts is
similar to that used throughout the registration area of the United
States.
The responsibility for seeing that a certificate is properly made
out and filed with the local board of health rests primarily with the
undertaker, who is required by law to present a satisfactory certifi-
cate of death before he may obtain a permit to remove the body
from the city or town in which the death occurred, or to bury the
body. The local board of health is required to transmit the death
certificate to the city or town clerk, who in turn records the death
and transmits a certified copy to the Secretary of the Common-
wealth on or before the tenth day of the month following that in
which the death occurred. Although the law provides that the
standard certificate of death shall be used, hospitals and other in-
stitutions are only required to obtain, when a person is received, the
facts which would be required for record in the event of the death
of such person. Thus several important items required by the
standard certificate of death are not obtained in some cases. This is
a serious defect in the death registration law, and ought to be
remedied by requiring hospitals and institutions to obtain, when the
person is received, all the facts required on the standard certificate
of death.
Death Rates and their Comparability. — The death rates given in
this report are based upon the comparison of total deaths with the
aggregate population. They are usually expressed in terms of the
number of deaths per 1,000 population, and are calculated by dividing
the total number of deaths by the population in thousands. This
means that death rates vary with the character of the population and
each element has its relation to the rate of mortality, and, therefore,
for comparison with other States or countries, the make-up of the
population must be considered. The death rate per 1,000 males is
90 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
generally higher than the rate per 1,000 females. Hence, a State
having a relatively larger female population than another will normally
show a lower death rate, and a community where the very young or
old predominate will show a higher rate than a community made up
largely of young adults. Rates will also vary with the color and
nationality of the inhabitants, as death rates are unfavorably affected
by a large foreign-born population, living in crowded tenements and
under unsanitary conditions.
Factors which seriously affect the comparability of the death rates
of different communities are: (1) race composition; (2) the social,
marital, and economic status of the people; (3) employment; (4)
the location of hospitals and institutions; (5) migration; and (6)
the birth rate.
The rates given in this report, as well as those in all the preceding
registration reports, are based on the inclusion of all deaths, both
resident and nonresident, occurring in each city or town. Deaths in
the asylums for the insane and in other State institutions are enumer-
ated with those of the town where they are located, and while for
certain localities non-resident deaths are given (see footnote, page
108), no plan has yet been devised for charging nonresidents back to
the towns from which they come. The growing popularity of our
city hospitals also affects local statistics. Many victims of typhoid
fever, or similar diseases, who contract the disease in the country,
are carried to the city hospitals and some die there. This requires
their deaths to be recorded in the city where they die. Obviously
this is an injustice which is especially apparent in some instances.
In addition to the erroneous and unwarranted conclusions some-
times arrived at by attempting to compare data which are not com-
parable, such as death rates of different communities of varying sex
and age composition, another possible source of error in mortality
statistics is the original data, which are sometimes given by persons
not fully cognizant of the true facts.
Number of Deaths and Death Rates. — There was a decrease in the
mortality of 1919 over that of 1918, the number of deaths occurring
during the calendar year 1919 being 52,345, a decrease over 1918 of
26,497. Based on the estimated midyear population of 3,835,614,
these deaths correspond to a rate of 13.6 per 1,000 population, as
compared with 20.2 in 1918. This rate for 1919 is the lowest ever
recorded in Massachusetts.
No. 1.] MORTALITY STATISTICS. 91
During the last three 10-year periods the death rate of the
Commonwealth has fallen from 19.2 in 1889, 17.4 in 1899, 15.5 in
1909 to 13.6 in 1919. This remarkable decrease in mortality has
been the rule rather than the exception in the experiences of the
other States. Since 1851 the average death rate for Massachusetts
has been 18.5 per 1,000 living. During the period 1871 to 1875
this rate stood at 20.9, and, as recently as the period 1896 to 1900,
at 18.1, since which time the decline has been fairly rapid.
Table 37, on page 124, shows the number of deaths and the death
rates per 1,000 population for the census years and per 1,000 esti-
mated papulation for the intercensal years, from 1851 to 1919.
Sex. — Oi the 52,345 deaths in 1919, 26,407, or 50.4 per cent,
were males, as compared with 52.9 per cent in 1918. In 8 cases the
sex of the decedent was unknown or not reported. The proportion
of males in the living population, as shown by the State Census of
1915, was 49.1 per cent. Expressed as a ratio there were 1,018
deaths of males per 1,000 deaths of females in 1919, as compared
with 1,121 in 1918, 1,097 in 1917, 1,101 in 1916, 1,060 in 1915, and
1,085 in 1914.
Table 38, on page 125, shows that the death rate for males has
been consistently greater than the death rate for females. In 1919
the rate for males exceeded that for females by only .7 per 1,000,
the lowest ever recorded in Massachusetts. The death rate of the
sexes has fluctuated considerably, reaching the maximum in 1918,
when the difference was 3 per 1,000.
Age. — Of the 52,345 deaths in 1919, 7,769, or 14.8 per cent, were
of infants under 1 year of age, as compared with 13.7 per cent in
1918, and an average of 17.7 per cent for the five years from 1913
to 1917, and 20.9 for the five years from 1908 to 1912. A more
detailed discussion of infant mortality may be found on pages 93
to 97.
The ages at which the people have been most benefited by re-
ductions in death rates are illustrated in Table 39, on page 126,
Avhich shows the number of deaths and the death rates per 1,000
population for the census years 1875 to 1915. While the death rates
for the lower ages have decreased in recent years, the death rates
of persons 50 years and upwards have increased. In the forty years
covered by this table the death rate of infants under 1 year of age
declined from 226.6 to 126.1 per 1,000 population under 1 year of
92 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
age; the death rate of children under 5 years of age decHned from
74 to 35.5 per 1,000; and so on for all age periods up to 50 years.
Above the age of 50 years the death rate in 1910 was very much
higher than in 1875. The decrease in the death rate for all ages
and in the rates due to diseases most frequent in the early years of
life, on the one hand, and the increase in rates for the advanced
ages on the other, indicate increased longevity.
Sex and Age. — The death rate of adult males we should naturally
expect would be greater than the rate for adult females, on account
of the more dangerous occupations of the males, but the excess in
the death rate of male infants as compared with female infants has
never been satisfactorily explained. Of the 7,769 decedents under
1 year of age in 1919, 4,395, or 56.6 per cent, were males. The ratio
of male to female deaths among the higher age periods fluctuated
somewhat. The proportion of male deaths was the larger from 1
year of age up to and including the age period 70 to 74 years, with
the exception of the twenty to twenty-four and twenty-five to
twenty-nine year age periods, in which the number of female deaths
was larger than the number of male deaths. From the age of 75 years
and upwards the number of deaths of females exceeded the deaths
of males. In the total population in 1915 the number of males was
in excess of the number of females up to the age of 14 years. From
that period on the excess, of females was marked, particularly so be-
ginning with the age period 50 to 54 years, when the excess increased
greatly with the increase of age. The ratios of male deaths per 1,000
deaths of females at the various age periods in the four years 1916
to 1919 are shown in Table 41, on page 127.
The excess of females in the population 65 years of age and over
is so great that, even though their mortality at each age period is
below that of males, the absolute number of deaths is greater.
Among the 26,407 male decedents in 1919, 4,395, or 16.6 per cent,
were under 1 year of age; among the 25,930 female decedents, 3,373,
or 13 per cent, were under 1 year; and among the decedents of both
sexes 14.8 per cent were under 1 year. (See Table 42, on page 128.)
Marital Condition. — Not quite one-half (48.2 per cent) of the
decedents 15 years of age and over whose marital condition was re-
ported in 1919 were married, 21.4 per cent were single, 29 per cent
were widowed, .9 per cent were divorced, and .5 per cent were un-
known. Among the male decedents 54.9 per cent were married, 23.5
No. 1.] MORTALITY STATISTICS. 93
per cent were single, 19.7 per cent were widowed, 1:1 per cent were
divorced, and .8 per cent were unknown. Among the female dece-
dents 41.8 per cent were married, 19.5 per cent were single, 37.9 per
cent were widowed, and .8 per cent were divorced. No precise
study of the bearing of marital condition on mortality statistics can
be made, however, without a detailed statement of the age distribu-
tion of the population. The age groups used in the census statistics
do not coincide with the age groups used in the tabulation of death
statistics, so that the two sets of figures cannot be used together.
Table 45, on page 131, shows the number of deaths of males and
females 15 years of age and over, by marital condition.
Centenarians. — Among the deaths registered during 1919 there
were 21 of reputed centenarians, 16 of whom were females; 11 were
native and 10 were foreign born; 15 were widowed, 3 were mar-
ried, and 3 were single. Table 44, on page 130, presents data
concerning the deaths of centenarians by sex, nativity, marital con-
dition, and maximum age at death for the thirty-nine years 1881 to
1919.
Nativity. — Over two-thirds (67.5 per cent) of the decedents whose
nativity was reported on the death certificates in 1919 were native.
There were 26.2 decedents whose nativity was not reported. The
close correspondence between the nativity of decedents (67.6 per
cent native in 1915) and the nativity of the total population is shown
by the census of 1915, 68.8 per cent of the population of the Com-
monwealth at that time being native.
Seasonal Distribution of Deaths. — The largest number of deaths
during any month occurred in January (7,154), and the next largest
number in March (5,226). Since the months are not of equal length,
the monthly incidence must be reduced to a uniform basis. The
average daily number of deaths for 1919 was 143. The months
showing a higher average than that for the year were: January (231),
February (186), March (169), and April (156). Table 46, on page
132, shows the number of deaths in each month of 1919 in the State,
in counties, and in cities having over 50,000 inhabitants in 1915.
B. Infant Mortality.
The magnitude of the death rate of infants under 1 year of age
is one of the most important subjects to be considered in any dis-
cussion of deaths, and entitles the problem of infant mortality to a
94
MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
place among the most serious social problems of the present day.
The enormous waste of human life that is going on is shown by the
fact that one baby out of every ten born alive dies before reaching
its first birthday.
The infant mortality for the State in 1919 was 88.5 per 1,000 live
births. This is the lowest infant mortality rate ever recorded in
this Commonwealth. But a still better statistical proof of the re-
duction in infant mortality is shown by the fact that while there
has been a steady increase in the number of live births, interrupted
only by slight decreases in the years 1894, 1898, 1899, 1901, 1902,
1909, and 1919, the actual number of infant deaths under 1 year of
age was lower in 1919 than in any year since 1885, when the number
of live births was only 48,790, — a truly remarkable record. Ref-
erence to Table 47, on page 133, shows in striking manner this re-
markable reduction in infant mortality, actual decrements without
regard for increase in the number of births and without regard for
increase in population.
The greatest infant mortality occurred in 1896 (11,765 deaths);
the next greatest actual number of infant deaths occurred twelve
years later, 1908 (11,606). Since 1908 there has been, with the
exception of 1910, when there were 11,499 infant deaths, and 1918
(10,820), a steady decrease in the number of deaths of infants under
1 year of age, the figures being as follows : —

This salvage of the lives of babies in recent years has been due,
not so much to the gradual improvement in birth registration, but
to an actual reduction in the number of deaths under 1 year of age.
In the ten years from 1910 to 1919 there has been an increase of
1.0 per cent in the number of live births registered, and a decrease in
the actual 7iumber of deaths under 1 year of 32.4 P^^ <^^^^-
A higher proportion of the salvage of infant life in Massachusetts
has taken place in Boston, where the infant welfare agencies have
been untiring in their baby-saving campaigns. In 1919 deaths under
1 year of age numbered 1,814, or 96.5 per 1,000 live births, as com-
pared with 114.7 in 1918, and is the lowest since 1909. In the ten
years from 1910 to 1919 there has been an increase of 6.4 per cent
in the number of live births registered, and a decrease in the actual
number of deaths under 1 year of 19.4 per cent. For the remainder
of the State the number of births registered increased .2 per cent
during this period, while the number of deaths under 1 year de-
creased 35.6 per cent. The infant mortality rates for the State,
exclusive of Boston, decreased from 134.3 in 1910 to 86.3 in 1919,
as compared with a decrease in Boston from 127.4 in 1910 to 96.5
in 1919. (See Table 50 on page 136.)
The infant mortality rates in municipalities having 15,000 or more
inhabitants for the years 1912 to 1919 are shown in Table 48, on
page 134.
It should be borne in mind that the infant mortality rates of
cities in which children's hospitals and maternity hospitals are lo-
cated are often very misleading. In 1919 the infant mortality rate
in Holyoke was 119.4 deaths per 1,000 live births. There were 1,583
babies born in that city, and 189 babies died there before reaching
their first birthday. Of these 189 babies, 26 died in the Brightside
Institution, and 13 of these latter, or 50 per cent, were probably of
illegitimate birth. ^ Fourteen and three-tenths per cent of the 189
babies who died in Holyoke were brought from cities outside Holyoke
and died in the Brightside Institution. , The infant mortality rate
for the city of Holyoke, outside Brightside Institution, was 103.
1 Although the illegitimacy of these births had not been legally determined, as the information relat-
ing to the father was not given on the birth certificate, the presumption is that the children were
probably illegitimate.

A careful analysis of the returns of other cities and towns in which
children's hospitals are located would probably show lower infant
mortality rates than appear in Table 48.
The highest proportion of deaths occurs in the early period of
infancy, and especially is this true of the first few days. In 1919,
2,564 deaths occurred in the first week, constituting 33 per cent of
all deaths under 1 year of age. On the first day the percentage of
deaths (16.1) was higher than on any other day. In the first month
of life there were 3,635 deaths, or 46.8 per cent of all infant deaths.
In the first three months there were 4,810 deaths, or 55.6 per cent
of all infant deaths. Over three-fourths (78.1 per cent) of the infant
deaths occurred in the first half of the year.
Babies are weakest at birth and during early infancy, and the
hazard of life is greatest during the first weeks and months after
birth. A large number of the deaths in early infancy are due to the
fact that many babies are born with some handicap, and that in
many instances the mother has been subjected to some condition
which resulted in the birth of a child incapable of withstanding the
ordinary strain of life. Proper prenatal care of mothers is of the
utmost importance as a means of reducing the number of early
deaths. Efforts toward this end have been made in several munici-
palities, notably in Boston, by hospitals, visiting nurses, health
officers and others, who have attempted to make adequate medical
advice and obstetrical care available to mothers during pregnancy.
Over three-fourths (79.7 per cent) of the 2,564 babies who died
less than one week after birth died of prematurity, congenital debil-

ity, malformations, or injuries received at birth. Of the 3,104 babies
who died from these causes before reaching the age of 1 year, 34.1
per cent died in less than one day, 65.9 per cent died in less than
one week, and 83.8 per cent died in less than one month. The second
most important cause of infant deaths — gastric and intestinal dis-
eases — claimed 1,431, or 18.4 per cent of the babies who died before
reaching 1 year of age. Twelve and three-tenths per cent of the
babies who died from this cause died in less than one month after
birth, 13.5 per cent within one but less than two months after birth,
and 12.4 per cent within two but less than three months after birth.
Diarrhea and enteritis* are the most important preventable
causes of infant mortality, especially prevalent during the summer
season, and due in a large part to methods of feeding, hot weather
and the living and social conditions of the parents. With hygienic
care, including cool baths, much fresh air, and careful feeding, many
infants are able to pass through extremely hot weather without seri-
ous diarrheal disturbances. The mortality of infants from diarrhea
and enteritis* has decreased from 33 per 1,000 live births in 1911 to
15 in 1919. Deaths under 2 years ^ of age from diarrhea and en-
teritis* for each month of the nine years 1911 to 1919 are shown in
Table 53, on page 138, which illustrates in striking manner the great
reductions that have been made in the number of deaths from this
cause, probably due to infant welfare work carried on in many cities,
particularly during the hotter months.
The largest number of deaths of infants is due to developmental
and wasting diseases,* and the figures indicate a reduction in infant
mortality due to these causes, — from 41.2 deaths per 1,000 live
births in 1911 to 31.1 in 1919. Respiratory diseases also caused a
considerable number of deaths. The number of deaths from broncho-
pneumonia* shows an increase from 1911 to 1914, and a steady de-
crease since then except in 1918. In 1911 there were 732 infant
deaths from this cause; in 1912, 859; in 1913, 1,082; in 1914, 1,455;
in 1915, 1,068; in 1916, 999; in 1917, 809; in 1918, 1,221, and in
1919, 917. The principal causes of infant deaths for the years 1911
to 1919 are shown in Table 52, on page 137.

C. Cause of Death,
Sources of Error in Mortality Statistics. — The chief element of
error in mortality statistics lies in the inaccuracy of the statement
of the cause of death as reported by the attending physician, who
may not have been in a position to feel reasonably certain as to the
nature of the terminal illness, or who may, at the request of the
family of the decedent, deliberately withhold a statement of the true
cause of death, as when the condition is either tuberculosis, cancer,
syphilis, or some other reportable disease. Statements of cause of
death are often incomplete as a result of the unintentional failure of
the physician to state all the morbid conditions known to him which
resulted in the death.^ It is also probable that there are many un-
avoidable errors of mistaken diagnosis.^
It should also be borne in mind that the process of classifying the
thousands of different terms — some of them of a very indefinite or
unsatisfactory character — under the 189 titles of the International
List of Causes of Death presents many difficulties which are seldom
fully appreciated by those who have not engaged in the work of
classification. Even if each certificate of death out of the 52,345
received during 1919 at the Division of Vital Statistics of the Office
of the Secretary of the Commonwealth bore only a single cause, the
process would present many difficulties. Many certificates, however,
bear statements of two or more causes instead of one, and a system
of selection, according to the precedents and rules of the Inter-
national Committee, has been adopted by the Ignited States Bureau
of the Census,^ and is used in the Office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth. Because of the complications attendant upon any
attempt to show all primary and secondary terms in relation, it be-
1 For example, the statement of "acute nephritis" is often returned as a cause of death, with no mention
of the "scarlet fever" which terminated in the "acute nephritis." "Meningitis" is sometimes reported as
a cause, when there has been a primary condition, such as " whooping cough" or some form of traumatism,
antecedent to the final condition.
- Dr. Richard C.Cabot, in an article on "Diagnostic Pitfalls identified during a Study of 3,000 Autopsies",
published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, December 28, 1912, page 2295, and Dr. Horst
Oertel, in an article on "The Inaccuracy of American MortaUty Statistics", published in the American
Underwriter May, 1913, have pointed out that in the best hospitals bedside diagnoses of even the com-
moner maladies often prove to be erroneous on autopsy. In Dr. Cabot's study of 3,000 autopsies it was
found that while the results were confirmatory of the original diagnoses to a high degree in certain classes of
causes such as diabetes mellitus (95 per cent), typhoid fever (92 per cent), aortic regurgitation (84 per
cent), in others the percentages of correct diagnoses were very low; acute nephritis (16 per cent), chronic
myocarditis (22 per cent), broncho-pneumonia (33 per cent), acute endocarditis (39 per cent), chronic
interstitial nephritis (50 per cent), miliarj- tuberculosis (52 per cent), and active phthisis (59 per cent).

comes necessary to base all statistical compilations of causes of
death on the selection of a preferred term. As a result it is evident
that there may be a margin of error, because in a considerable num-
ber of certificates only one of the contributory causes may be shown.
Each definite cause of death as compiled, therefore, represents a
minimum number, which would be increased if deaths from such
causes that were not properly reported, and hence were classified
under various ill-defined titles, could be included.
Principal Causes of Death} — Nearly one-third (31.7) of the 52,345
deaths reported in 1919 were caused by organic heart disease* (in-
cluding pericarditis), pneumonia (including broncho-pneumonia), and
tuberculosis in all forms. These diseases, together with apoplexy,*
cancer, Bright's disease,* and nephritis, external causes, influenza,
malformations* and the diseases of early infancy, caused 73.3 per
cent of the deaths for the year.
Pneumonia (including broncho-pneumonia) caused 5,280 deaths in
1919, or 137.7 per 100,000 population. It was responsible for 14,626
deaths, or 374.3 per 100,000 population, in 1918, as compared with
163.8 in 1917, 173.9 in 1916, 174.6 in 1915, and 164.3 in 1914.
Influenza caused 2,872 deaths in 1919, or 74.9 per 100,000 popu-
lation as compared with 352.7 in 1918.
The deaths from heart diseases'^ (organic diseases of the heart* and
endocarditis*) in 1919 numbered 6,445, or 12.3 per cent of all deaths,
or 168 per 100,000 population. In 1918 deaths from this cause in-
creased 10.5 per cent over 1917, while the death rate per 100,000
population increased to 205.4 for 1917, or 8.5 per cent over the rate
of 189.4 in 1916, and 53.6 per cent ov^er the average rate (133.7)
for the five years from 1911 to 1915.
Tuberculosis in its various forms claimed 4,920 victims in 1919,
of whom 4,145 died from tuberculosis of the lungs.* Deaths due to
the latter cause constituted 7.9 per cent of all deaths during the
year, as compared with 8.1 per cent for the five years 1912 to 1916.
In the six years from 1910 to 1915 the death rate from tuberculosis
of the lungs* fell from 133.2 to 116 per 100,000 population, a drop
of 17.2 per cent, the decline being continuous from year to year.
In 1917, however, there was an increase in the death rate to 121.1,
and 130 in 1918, but in 1919 there was a decline to 108.1.

death which the committee, after careful consideration, reported were acceptable statements of causea
of death without autopsy.
100 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
Apoplexy"^ was the cause of 4,258 deaths, or 111 per 100,000 pop-
ulation. The death rate from this disease has fluctuated somewhat
from 98.1 in 1911, 101.1 in 1912, 97.8 in 1913, 72.9 in 1914, 94.3 in
1915, 93 in 1916, 103.9 in 1917, and 105.7 in 1918.
Next in order of deadliness come cancer and other malignant tumors,
which caused 4,112 deaths in 1919, corresponding to a death rate
of 107.2, as compared with 104.9 in 1918. Of the deaths from cancer,
35.3 per cent resulted from cancers of the stomach and liver. The
death rate from cancer has risen from 89.9 in 1910 to 107.2 in 1919.
The increase has been continuous. It is possible that at least a
part of this increase is due to more correct diagnosis and greater
care on the part of physicians in making reports.
Brighfs disease* and nephritis were the causes of 3,672 deaths in
1919, corresponding to a rate of 95.7 per 100,000 population, as com-
pared with 101 in 1918, and an average rate of 92.8 for the five years
from 1913 to 1917. There were 3,368 deaths caused by Bright's
disease* and 304 by acute nephritis.
Congenital dehility* and mal formations'^ caused 2,775 deaths in
1919, corresponding to a rate of 72.3 per 100,000 population. The
death rates from these causes have shown a steady decline from 109.2
in 1910 (with the exception of 1912, 114.2).
Diarrhea and enteritis* caused 1,863 deaths in 1919, or 48.6 per
100,000 population. With the exception of 1918 this rate has shown
a marked decline. Eighty and one-tenth per cent of the total num-
ber of deaths charged to these causes in 1919 were of infants under
2 years of age.* The rates for this cause have declined steadily
from 110.9 in 1910 to 95 in 1911, 90.5 in 1912, 82.7 in 1913, 78 in
1914, 68.7 in 1915, 63.3 in 1916, — a drop of 42.9 per cent in seven
years, but increased to 65.1 in 1917, and 82 in 1918. The decline
is due largely to the successful campaigns waged against infant
mortality.
The fatal cases of diphtheria and croup* — which are classed to-
gether in the statistics, but practically all of which are of diphtheria
— numbered 593, or 15.5 per 100,000 population in 1919, as com-
pared with 15.6 in 1918, 21.8 in 1917, 16.7 in 1916, 19.5 in 1915,
17.9 in 1914, 17.6 in 1913, 13.5 in 1912, 16.4 in 1911, and 20.1 in
1910.
The mortality from typhoid fever* has shown a steady decline
since 1910, having dropped from 12.2 in that year to 2.8 in 1919.
No. 1.] MORTALITY STATISTICS. 101
This decline is greater, relatively, than that shown for any other
important cause of death. The total number of deaths due to ty-
phoid fever in 1919 was 107, as compared with 160 in 1918, 178 in
1917, 172 in 1916, 246 in 1915, 268 in 1914, 280 in 1913, 269 in 1912,
302 in 1911, and 411 in 1910. This showing is a striking example
of the efficacy of preventive measures and improved methods of
sanitation.
The principal epidemic maladies of childhood — ichooiying cough,'^
measles * and scarlet fever* — were together responsible for 628 deaths
of both adults and children, or 16.4 per 100,000 population in 1919,
the rates for the three diseases separately being 8.4, 4.8, and 3.2, re-
spectively. The mortality rates for all three of these diseases have
changed greatly from year to year.
Death rates from violence during the past ten years per 100,000
population were 83.6 in 1910, 99.2 in 1911, 88.2 in 1912, 90.1 in
1913, 84.3 in 1914, 86.8 in 1915, 90.1 in 1916, 93.3 in 1917, 88.1 in
1918, and 84.5 in 1919.
Deaths due to railroad accidents a7id injuries* totaled 171 in 1919,
or 4.5 per 100,000 population. The rates for previous years were
6.1 in 1918, 6.7 in 1917, 7.5 in 1916, 7.1 in 1915, 6.9 in 1914, 9.5 in
1913, and 10.1 in 1912.
Deaths resulting from sfreet car accidents a7id injuries* numbered
73, or 1.9 per 100,000 population.
Automobile accidents and injuries* caused 532 deaths in 1919, or
13.9 per 100,000 population. There has been an increase in this
rate from year to year, — 4.6 in 1913, 5.3 in 1914, 7.2 in 1915, 8.3
in 1916, 10.8 in 1917, and 12.7 in 1918. No accurate data are avail-
able for measuring the death rate per number of automobiles in use,
as the statistics compiled by the Department of Public Works show
the number of machines registered, and thus contain duplications,
since one machine may be registered more than once in a calendar
year. It is probable, however, that the increase has not been so
rapid as that of the number of machines in use.
Deaths caused by machinery accidents* in 1919 numbered 52, or
1.4 per 100,000 population. The corresponding figures for previous
years were 2.3 in 1912, 2.3 in 1913, 1.9 in 1914, 1.9 in 1915, 2.1 in
1916, 2.4 in 1917, and 2.7 in 1918.
The number of suicides* reported for 1919 were 445, or 11.6 per
100,000 population. The rates since 1910 have been: 1910, 13;
102 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
1911, 13; 1912, 1913, 1914, 13.6 each; 1915, 13.9; 1916, 12.1; 1917,
12.8 and 1918, 12.6.
Deaths caused by firearms numbered 217 in 1919, corresponding
to a rate of 5.7 per 100,000 population. Of these deaths, 127 were
suicides,* 54 were homicides, and 36 were accidental (including those
concerning which the status as to suicide, homicide, or accident was
in doubt).
Deaths from homicide* numbered 102 in 1919, or 2.7 per 100,000
population. The rates for homicides in recent years are 2.2 in 1910,
2.5 in 1911, 2.6 in 1912, 3.1 in 1913, 2.9 in 1914, 3.1 in 1915, 3 in
1916, 2.8 in 1917, and 2.4 in 1918.
The causes of death of males and females for each month and at
seventeen age periods for the Commonwealth for the full Inter-
national List of Causes of Death with certain subdivisions are shown
in Table 55, on pages 152 to 181. In Table 56, on pages 182 to 206,
the deaths are shown for 48 causes and groups of causes for each
municipality. For the Commonwealth as a whole the deaths and
death rates for the six years 1914 to 1919 are shown for the 38
causes and groups of causes in the Abridged International List in
Table 58, on pages 208 and 209. The relation of this list to the De-
tailed International List is shown in the Appendix on pages 239 to
244. In addition to the above presentations, certain other tables
showing the causes of deaths are presented on pages 210 to 212.
D, Maternal Mortality,
Each death at childbirth is a serious loss to the country. The
women who die from this cause are lost at the time of their greatest
usefulness to the State and to their families, and they give their
lives in carrying out a function which must be regarded as the most
important in the world. ^
In 1919 there were 622 women between the ages of 15 and 49 who
died from conditions caused by childbirth;* 163 of these died from
childbed fever,* and the remaining 459 from diseases* now known
to be to a great extent preventable or curable by modern scientific
care.
It is almost inconceivable, in the light of modern knowledge, that
diseases caused by pregnancy and confinement are responsible for
1 Meigs, Grace L., M.D., Maternal Mortality from All Conditions connected with Childbirth', United
States Children's Bureau, Publication No. 19, 1916, page 9.
No. 1.] MORTALITY STATISTICS. 103
so many deaths among women 15 to 49 years of age. While there
has been a marked decrease in the death rates from all other pre-
ventable diseases in recent years, there has been no appreciable de-
crease in the death rates from diseases due to pregnancy and from
conditions accompanying labor. In fact, not only has the death
rate from diseases caused by pregnancy and childbirth been increas-
ing (from 9.6 per 100,000 population in 1901 to 16.2 in 1919), but
the proportion of deaths from these causes to the total number
of deaths has increased from .6 per cent in 1901 to 1.2 per cent
in 1919.
These figures cannot be properly appreciated unless we present
them in a comparative manner with the death rates from other pre-
ventable diseases. For instance, in 1901 the death rate from dis-
eases due to pregnancy and confinement was 9.6 per 100,000 popu-
lation, and the death rate from puerperal septicemia or childbed
fever was 2. In the same year the death rate from typhoid fever
was 19.7 per 100,000, and the death rate from diphtheria and
croup 41. In 1919 the death rate from diseases due to pregnancy
and confinement had increased to 16.2, while the death rate from
typhoid fever decreased to 2.8, and the death rate from diphtheria
and croup decreased to 15.5. In the light of modern knowledge of
the principles of antiseptic surgery and its application to obstetrical
practice, it is little short of criminal that such a high death rate
from diseases due to pregnancy and childbirth should continue.
In 1919 there were among women 15 to 49 years of age 888 deaths
from influenza; 499 deaths from pneumonia; 1,621 deaths from
tuberculosis (all forms); 622 deaths from the diseases of pregnancy
and confinement;* 468 deaths from organic diseases of the heart;*
569 deaths from cancer and other malignant tumors; 408 from acute
nephritis and Bright's disease;* 193 from violent deaths (suicide
excepted); 207 from cerebral hemorrhage;* 138 from noncancerous
tumors and other diseases of the female genital organs. Other dis-
eases show far fewer deaths.
The death rate per 10,000 births (living and dead) gives a far
clearer picture of the actual risk of childbirth than do any of the
aforementioned rates. The death rate, calculated on this basis, for
all diseases caused by pregnancy and confinement, increased from
37 in 1901 to 68.4 in 1919. The death rate per 10,000 live births
increased from 38 in 1901 to 70.8 in 1919.
104
MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
The most accurate method of all for calculating the death rates
from diseases caused by pregnancy and confinement is the number of
deaths per 10,000 confinements, including stillbirths and making
the proper deductions for plural births, or, in other words, the num-
ber of deaths per 10,000 women at risk. The death rates calculated
on this basis show, with slight fluctuations, a general increase from
37 in 1901 to 69.3 in 1919. The increase in the annual average
death rates, calcula-ted on three-year and five-year average, is shown
in the following tabular statement : —

E. Deaths investigated by Medical Examiners.
Source of Data. — The statistics of deaths investigated by medical
examiners published in this report are based upon annual returns
made by medical examiners and associate medical examiners to the
Secretary of the Commonwealth of abstracts of the records of deaths
supposably due to injury, the cause and manner of which have been
investigated during the year.^ Deaths supposedly due to injury
include not only deaths caused directly or indirectly by traumatism
(including resulting septicemia), and by the action of chemical
(drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, and deaths follow-
ing abortion, but also deaths from disease resulting from injury
or infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons
not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found
dead.
1 The law providing for annual returns of medical examiners, passed in 1885, is contained in General
Laws, chapter 38, sections 20 and 22.
No. 1.] MORTALITY STATISTICS. 105
Medical examiners are often, called upon to view cases in which
the death was not due to violence (heart disease, apoplexy, etc.),
but where the death was simply sudden, or where no physician had
been in recent attendance. Medical examiners are also required to
certify that they have viewed bodies to be cremated, and to make
personal inquiry into the cause and manner of death.
Discrepancies will be found in comparing deaths based upon the
returns to city and town clerks and those based upon the returns of
medical examiners. The causes of death shown in the returns of
the medical examiners are the more accurate, because the question
of homicide, suicide, or accident is often not determined until after
the certificate of death has been filed with the local official author-
ized to issue burial permits.
Number of Deaths mvestigated. — The number of deaths investi-
gated by the medical examiners in 1919 was 6,183, or 11.8 per cent
of the total number of deaths which occurred during the year, as
compared with 7,227 deaths in 1918, or 9.2 per cent of the total
number of deaths.^ Nearly two-thirds (64.4 per cent) of these deaths
were of males. Of the deaths investigated by medical examiners,
2,854, or 46 per cent, were reported as due to violence, while among
the deaths returned to the registrars 3,106 were reported as due to
violence.
The largest number of cases investigated by medical examiners in
1919 was in Suffolk County, — 1,867, as compared with 2,153 in
1918. Of the deaths investigated in Suffolk County, 866, or 46.4
per cent, were reported as due to violence. (See Table 64, pages
214 and 215.)
Autopsies. — Autopsies were made in 486, or 7.8 per cent of
the cases investigated by the medical examiners in 1919, as com-
pared with 7.7 per cent in 1918 and 8.6 in 1917.
The highest proportion of autopsies was in Suffolk County, where
16.8 per cent of the views were autopsied, as compared with 17.6
per cent in 1918. Table 66, on pages 222 and 223, shows the number
of views and the number of autopsies in each county in each year
from 1910 to 1919, and the number and per cent of views autopsied
for the ten-year period 1910 to 1919.
1 There were 3,092 stillbirths registered as births in 1919, 3,779 in 1918, 3,324 in 1917, and 3.300 in 1916.
The number of stillbirths viewed by medical examiners was 108 in 1919, 118 in 1918, 123 in 1917, and 104 in
1916.

Cause of Death. — Nearly one-half (47.3 per cent) of the deaths
viewed by medical examiners in 1919 were due to natural causes,
52.1 per cent of the deaths were from causes not due to violence,
46 per cent were due to violence, and 3 per cent were from unknow^n
or ill-defined causes.
Deaths from causes not due to violence numbered 3,221, of which
2,929 were from natural causes and 106 were due to alcoholism.
Deaths due to violence numbered 2,854, of which 2,301 were
due to accident or negligence, 449 were suicides, and 104 were
homicides.
Of the 2,301 deaths due to accident or neghgence, 481 were due
to falls and blows, 503 were due to automobile accidents, 268 re-
sulted from drowning, and 171 were due to railroad accidents.

Suicides numbered 449, or 15.7 per cent of the deaths due to vio-
lence. Suicides committed with firearms (121) and by the use of
illuminating and other gases (128) constituted over one-half (55.5
per cent) of the total number. Other methods were: by poisons (39),
by hanging or strangulation (58), and by drowning (52). Nearly
two-thirds (65.5 per cent) of the suicides were males.
Of the 449 persons committing suicide, 94 were 40 to 49 years of
age, 83 were 50 to 59 years of age, 85 were 30 to 39 years of age,
66 were 20 to 29 years of age, 95 were over 60 years of age, 17 were
under 20 years of age. Among the male suicides the largest num-
bers were from 40 to 49 years of age (63) and from 50 to 59 years
(57), while among the female suicides the largest numbers were from
40 to 49 vears of age (31) and from 30 to 39 years (30). Among the

males the most common method of committing suicide was by the
use of firearms (110, or 37.4 per cent), while among the females
the most common method was by illuminating or other gases (66, or
42.6 per cent).
Homicides numbered 104, of which 47 were by firearms, 24 were
by falls or blows, 14 were cases of infanticide. Of the 104 homicides,
80, or 76.8 per cent, were of males.

POPULATION STATISTICS.
Introductory, 227, 228

Statistical tables,^ 229-236
Introductory. — All vital statistics are based upon the population.
The number of births, marriages, divorces, and deaths is expressed
in relation to the population, usually as rates giving the number
occurring during the calendar year per 1,000 inhabitants or group
of inhabitants, such as age groups, sex, nativity, race, marital con-
dition, and occupation groups.
Information regarding population is obtained by a census enumera-
tion, and in Massachusetts these enumerations are made every five
years. The last census in this Commonwealth was taken by the
United States as of Jan. 1, 1920.
The population of any community or State is continually chang-
ing, in most cases increasing, and for this reason it becomes necessary
to make estimates of the population for the periods between the
census enumerations upon which to base rates for the various vital
events, and especially for the accurate computation and expression
of birth, marriage, divorce, and death rates. These rates are com-
monly calculated upon the population estimated to have existed at
the middle of the year, July 1. Such estimates are necessary for all
dates except those on which the census enumerations are made, and
are in all cases preferable to a repetition of the census returns for a
certain year.
For non-census years the statistical tables in this book are based
upon the estimated population as determined by the arithmetical
method, which assumes a constant amount of increase between the
census years.
1 For a list of the tables on population statistics, see page vii.
228 MASSACHUSETTS VITAL STATISTICS — 1919. [P. D.
The totally unexpected and well-nigh inexplainable result of the
national census of 1920, in which the State of Massachusetts shows a
gain in population of only 159,046 in the five-year period 1916 to
1920, and in which such cities as Boston, Cambridge, Somerville,
etc., show practically no gain in population during the last five
years, although housing conditions indicate these cities tremendously
overcrowded, has made the estimated population for the years 1916,
1917, and 1918 based on the censuses of the years 1910 and 1915
appear almost absurd. In fact, the 1918 statistics on births, mar-
riages, divorces, and deaths were based on a higher estimated pop-
ulation (3,907,576) than the estimated population for 1919 (3,835,614)
obtained from the censuses of 1915 and 1920.
Estimated Population. — The decennial census of the Common-
wealth for 1915 shows that the total population of Massachusetts on
April 1, 1915, was 3,693,310. This was an increase of 9.7 per cent
over 1910, and of nearly 23 per cent over 1905. The estimated pop-
ulation as of July 1, 1919, was 3,835,614, a gain of 142,304, or 3.8
per cent over 1915, the lowest percentage of gain since the Civil
War period of 1861 to 1865. The estimated population of the city of
Boston for July 1, 1919, was 747,784, a gain of only 2,345 for the
51 months (April 1, 1915, to July 1, 1919). The census population of
the cities and towns of this Commonwealth, by sex, for 1915, 1910,
and 1905, is shown in Table 69, on pages 231 to 236, and the estimated
population, as of July 1, 1919, for cities and towns having over
15,000 inhabitants for both sexes combined.^ shown in Table 1, on
pages 15 to 21.

APPENDIX
International Classification of Causes of Death
1. Detailed International List
2. Abridged International List
Appendix.
INTEENATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF CAUSES OF DEATH/
There are two separate and distinct classifications of causes of
death embodied in the International List of Causes of Death: these
are the detailed and abridged International Lists. The former, as
indicated by its name, presents causes of death in greater detail than
does the latter; that is, it shows separately certain diseases which
in the abridged list are grouped together for presentation. The ma-
jority of the titles of the abridged list are therefore consolidations of
certain titles of the detailed list. The shorter list is used as a basis
for certain tables in this volume for which it is either unnecessary
or impracticable to present data for each disease and cause of death
shown in the detailed list.
The distinction between these lists should always be considered
when using the tables of these reports. There are several cases in
which the title headings in the two lists are identical, but the causes
included are widely at variance. As an example of this the title
''Other epidemic diseases" of the detailed list (title No. 19) includes
only such epidemic maladies as are not classified separately in titles
1 to 18 of that list; but "Other epidemic diseases" of the abridged
list includes titles 3, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 of the detailed list.
These identical expressions, it will be noted, have two different and
distinct meanings. In the abridged list "Tuberculosis of the lungs"
(title Xo. 13) includes not only tuberculosis of the lungs of the
detailed list (title Xo. 28) but also acute miliary tuberculosis (title
Xo. 29).
An asterisk (*) denotes that, in the opinion of the committee ap-
pointed by the Section on Vital Statistics of the American Public
Health Association, the titles are acceptable statements of causes of
death without autopsy.
1 This second decennial revision of the International Classification of Causes of Death made at Paris
July 1 to 3, 1909, was designed for use during the present decade. The next revision will be made in 1920
for use in the twenties. The causes of death as given in the second revision number 189, compared with
179 in the first classification.
